..is when it hits you, you feel no pain,
So hit me with music.
Hit me with music, now, yeah.
Hit me with music.
Brutalize me with music....
I’ve been enjoying checking out other peoples systems on here, so I figured I’d post mine. The beautiful rooms you guys have shown here is something for me to shoot for some day! I’m still in college, so my listening space isn’t great and I’m in an apartment – all my other equipment is back home (M&K S-150s, SS-55 and LCR-750s). I was originally going to do a 5.1 system here, but quickly realized it would be overkill for my space and decided to focus on two channel – I’m about 70% music and 30% movies.
Audio:
Denon DRA-395 for a preamp.
Crown XLS402 Amplifier (2x450-watts @ 4-ohms)
Behringer Super-X Pro CX2310 Crossover
Dynaudio Audience 70s (2x)
M&K K-10 Subwoofer
Cables are all Hosa & Comprehensive
APC Line-R1250 AC Filters (2x)
Sources:
Computer w/ M-Audio sound card, running Ubuntu Studio (Linux)
Initial 26” HD-TV with DVD-player. It's actually not bad!
You’ll also see a Sunfire True Sub in the corner. That’s disconnected from the system now, as it’s just plain overkill in this room. I got it at a steal though, so, it’s waiting for me to graduate (With it’s twin, I have two of them – don’t ask, haha). Instead I’m using a M&K K-10 subwoofer, which I purchased from M&K’s refurbished product store they used to have. I had been asking Barry (who was running that) for some time to hook me up with one, and when one came along he hooked me up! It’s a great subwoofer, and it saddens me I can’t recommend it to others anymore. R.I.P. M&K Sound!
The latest addition is the Behringer CX2310 Crossover. All I can say, is that for what that thing costs, I’d almost say it is a must for anyone who is neurotic about blending subs with mains. This thing makes is super easy. I was considering doing a review on it in the reviews section, if you guys wanted.
I'm only here for another year, so, most new equipment buys are things I plan on using once I'm in a permanent residence next year. In the mean time, I need a small rack. I want to replace that end table I put the receiver and crossover on with a small rack to house everything in. It would make the room look much cleaner, even if the rack is ugly.
Anyways, comments would be appreciated. If you guys have some suggestions for improving things, or have some questions, go for it!
On to the pictures!
And the room, just to give you an idea of the listening space:
